Flying Safely Begins With Us!

General 
AviationThe General Aviation Branch is responsible for the licensing of all pilots and flight engineers; the licensing and testing standards; and the safety regulations, inspection and monitoring of all Canadian flight training units.

The Branch is also responsible for regulating aircraft registration and leasing; maintaining a Canadian Aircraft Register; and maintaining a safety oversight of recreational aviation and special flight operations such as airshows.

Furthermore, General Aviation regulates civil and commercial rocket launch operations in Canada.

Our Vision

“We see ourselves on the cutting edge of innovation in civil aviation to promote safe flying. Our leadership and proactive actions will establish Canada’s general aviation as being the most professional and the safest in the world.”
